Stanford takes another from Cal

The Cal women’s basketball team could not accomplish on Sunday afternoon what its men’s counterpart did the night before in staging a significant upset over a highly ranked opponent.

In the end it was a routine victory for the Cardinal over the Bears before 5,715 fans at Haas Pavilion, a 79-64 final fueled by 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists from All-American Chiney Ogwumike. No. 4 Stanford improved its glittering overall record to 21-1 and a perfect 9-0 in the Pac-12.

Stanford increased its bloated series record vs. Cal to 62-18, including a 54-7 mark since 1986-87.

No. 21 Cal, losing for the fourth time in its last six conference games, is 14-7 overall and 6-4 in the Pac-12. Point guard Brittany Boyd had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for the Bears.

Stanford’s lead in the second half reached a zenith of 60-41 on Karlie Samuelson’s three-point shot with 7:48 to go and had Cal scrambling the rest of the way.

Aside from Ogwumike’s offensive production, Stanford lived well off 11 turnovers by Cal that it turned into 14 points.

The Bears managed to cut the Cardinal’s lead to seven points on two occasions early in the second half – 39-32 and 41-34 – but by 11:34 remaining Stanford had built its lead up to 52-38 on a layup by Karlie Samuelson off a nifty bounce pass from Ogwumike at the high post. Samuelson was fouled on the play and she converted the free throw.

The way the first half played out, Cal was lucky to be down by just 10 at intermission, 35-25, especially after shooting 9 of 29 from the floor.

From a small deficit of 12-9, Stanford went on a prolonged run of 24-7 that put it comfortably in front 33-19 at 1:39 after a pair of free throws by Ogwumike, who had 17 points in the half.

Cal got 10 points from Boyd in the half but no one else on her team had more than five. Stanford produced 11 points off nine Cal turnovers and had a 16-6 scoring advantage in the paint, owing mostly to Ogwumike’s prowess.

After forging an early 12-9 lead, the Bears went nearly seven minutes without scoring as Stanford built a 17-12 lead. The dry spell was broken by Mercedes Jefflo’s jumper at 6:40.

The Bears moved into a 12-9 lead on a jumper by Mikayla Lyles but three straight buckets by Ogwumike gave the Cardinal a 15-12 edge with 9:50 to go in the first half.

Briefly: Cal and Stanford go on the road next week to play the Washington schools. The Bears are at Washington on Friday and at Washington State on Sunday, with the reverse for the Cardinal. … Cal center Reshanda Gray fouled out with 7 points and 5 assists.
